The CrowdCell Project Group is a 4G Relay concept, whereby an intermediate “Crowd” enabled device relays traffic between a customer UE and the macro network. Its main benefit is to be a rapid and low cost small cell solution thanks to its Plug-and-Play (P&P) concept by means of using the available 4G coverage.

The CrowdCell Project Group focuses on creating a CrowdCell by leveraging General Purpose Processing (GPP) platforms, Software-Defined Radios (SDR) and reference designs for hardware and Open Source software to minimize costs with a “one design” flexible reference platform.

Thanks to British Telecom, Mavenir and ADVA teams for putting together an end-to-end integration showcasing the TIP vRAN FH initiative. This integration was sponsored by BT at the 5G World event held in London during the week of June 12th. What a great way to demonstrate the progress of TIP technologies! Interesting to note — in a few months, we will be at the same venue for TIP Summit 2018 – looking forward to showcasing the next level version of this integration then.
